At a Monday night council meeting, Cllr Roberts said: “The whole idea of Flint Railway Station was the integration of various forms of transport.

“It’s a terrible shame buses don’t stop anymore. “Mold and Holywell buses used to allow people across the county to use our excellent station but unfortunately, no longer.

“This is due to cars obstructing access which initially stopped bigger buses.

“Even the reliable Holywell service has deteriorated and we now only have two buses an hour between Flint and Chester.

“I’m also concerned there’s no longer a through service to Rhyl, you have to change in Holywell. Our biggest aim is to have a free bus service from Flint to Glan Clwyd Hospital.

“We have the station and buses are an important part of the overall strategy.”

A Flintshire County Council spokesman said: “The 11 service ChesterRhyl and the 28 Mold-Flint used to stop outside the station. This ceased some time ago because of difficulties manoeuvring buses due to parked cars blocking what was very tight access.

“The service now stops by McDonald's which is no more than five minutes walk and the frequency of the service is unchanged."
